' LIFE IS 8WEET.
u0b, life is sweet!" said a merry child,
w And I lore, I lore to roam
In the meadows green, 'neath the sky serene?
Oh! the world is a fairv home.
There are trees hung thick with blossoms fair,
And flowers gay and bright;
There's the moon's clear ray, and the sun-lit day?
Olt, the world is a world of light!
" Oh, life is sweet!" said a gallant youth,
As he conned the storied page;
And he pondered on the days by-gone,
And the fame of a former age.
There was hope in his bright and beaming eye,
And he longed for riper years;
He clung to life?he dared its strife?
He felt no dread nor fears.
* Oh, life is sweet!" came merrily
From the lips of a fair young bride;
. And a happy smile she gave the while
To the dear one by her side.
u Oh, life is sweet! for we.shall live
Our constancy to prove;
Thy sorrows mine, lny trials thine,
Our solace iu our love." j
aOh, life is sweet!" said a mother fond,
As she gazed on her helpless child,
And she closer pressed to her gladdened breast
Her babe, who unconscious smiled.
"My life shall be for thee, my child,
Pure,guiltless, as thou art;
And who shall dare my soul to tear
Prom the:tie that forms a part T
"Oh! tile in sweet!" said an aged sire,
Whose eye was surik and dim:
His form was beut?his strength was spent?
Co aid life be sweet, to him ?
Oh, yes, for round the old mail's chair
His children'* children clung;
And oach dear face and warm embrace I
Made life seem ever young.
Thus life is sweet, from early youth
To weak enfeebled age;
Love twines with life, through care and strife,
In every varied stage.
Though rough, perchance, the path we tread,
And dark tye sky above,
In every, state there's something yet
To live tor, and to love.

: ALOISE SENEFELDER.
At Munich, in the year 1705, a new comedy
, was acted one night at the principal theatre.
The part ol one of the characters, whose duty
it was to keep the audience in a perpetual roar
of laughter, was sustained by a j'ourcg man,
whose mournful actions and spiritless gestures
were strangely at variance with the drolleries
he uttered. He seemed to be about s?venteen
years old, his figure was tall and slender, his
countenance pale, and his large blue eyes wore
an expression of profound melancholy. The
piece was unmercifully hissed; and, as soon as
it was over, while the young actor was chang- i
ing his dress, one ol the attendants tnnae nis
appearance.
" Mr. Aloise Senefelder!" said he, " the manager
wishes to speak to you immediately.''
" Tell him I am coming," replied the young
man; and hastily finishing his toilette, he repaired
to the manager's room.
" Mr. Senefelder," said the man in authority,
" do you know that I am the author of the
play acted to-night?'"'"
" Yes, sir," said Aloise, timidly.
" Do you know the piece is condemned ?"
" Sir," said Aloise," I did my 1 est ?"
" To make it fail, and you have succeeded,"
said the incensed author. " From this moment
you are ho longer one of my company. Here
is what I owe you?take it, sir, and withdraw."
Astonished ut these words, Aloise stood like
a statue. He seemed without power either to
take the money or to move. At length, the
- - - I- al? X*
box-keeper, who was present, iook me iew
coins and placed them in his hand; and the
cold contact of the silver recalling him to recollection,
he clasped' his fingers convulsively
together, and falling on his knees, burst into
tears.
"Ah! don't send me away!?don't send me
awav!" he cried.
" I want an actor, not a mourner," said the
manager-author, in whoso ears the hisses were
yet ringing. " In place of laughing, you weep."
" Sir, my father died two davs ago, and he
i< not yet buried, for want of a cofiin to contain
his dear remains. My mother and my five
little brothers and sisters have only me to depend
upon. Try me, then, Mr. Sparman?try
me once more, I beseech you."
" Sorry I can't grant your request," said the
manager, taking up his hat and moving towards
the door. As he passed Aloise, on whose pale
free t'?e burning tears seemed frozen by de

" Double the salary, aod pay for the father's
funeral, Mr. Fitz," he said to the box-keeper,
and went out
Fitz took a few crowns from a drawer, placed
them in the hands of Aloise, hclj>ed him to rise,
and then giving him his arm, assisted him out
of the theatre.
Kindly supporting the poor boy's tottering ]
steps, the box-keeper led him to an undertaker's
shop, and gave orders for an humble coffin. J
Then, seeing him able to walk to his mother's
lodging, Fitz took leave of him and returned to
the theatre.
u/irtmv Sonof<?lil?>r inhabited a miserable
apartment in an obscure part of the city.?
Want and misery were stamped on the innocent
faces of the five little ones who surrounded
her, and who, with one accord, rushed towards
Aloise as he entered.
The eldest, a pretty girl about ten years old,
drew them back, and, nutting her lips close to
her brother's ears, whisjiered?
"Have you brought any stipj>er, Aloise?"
" Here," said he, giving her tlie silver he had
received.
" So much as that ?" said the sister; " they
must be much pleased to give you so many
crowns."
" So much pleased, Marianne, that they have
dismissed me,"
"Then you are no longer an actor?" said
one of the little bo>s. "So much the better.
Itisan ungodly profession, our curate says."
" Vuc " ruininoil nnnflicr chilli. " but llOW

shall we get money to buy bread, it Aloise
does notliing ?"
"Hush, hush," said Marianne; "don't let
our dear mamma hear this bad news to-night
We will pray to God, who has taken papa to
Himself, and perhaps He will send us some
consolation."
Aloise was silent. He watched all night by
his father's corpse, and the next morning followed
it to the grave. Instead of returning home,
he wandered idly through the streets, pursued
bv the still recurring question, 'What can I do?'
Night approached. He thoughtof returning to
his mother, recollecting how uneasy his absence
would make her; but when he looked around,
! - -I I. - ...? T? ? V ..< I
ne anew uoi wneru uu w??. ?u nwotmc ui
mind, lie had wandered far into the country,
and the rushing of u river struck his ear. He
approached its hank, and, overcome by fatigue
and hunger, sank down upon the soft grass,
For some time he watched the flowing water,
till a dreadful idea entered his poor harassed
brain.
" Beneath that quiet wave," he thought, " all

er good for anything. I am only a burden to
my mother, giving her another mouth to feed.
I will therefore die, and all will be over!"
Aloise had been educated in sentiments of
Christian piety; anil now, like a ray of light
from heaven, the thought ptruok hiin that he
was meditating a fearful prime. He shuddered,
and kneeling down, prayed fervently to God
for pardon,
While on his knees, his ideas became gradu,
ally confused, the water peased to flow, and the
stars to shine. Aloise slept
j When ho opened his eyes, it was daylight,?
The spwip around was gilded by the rising sun
He heard the pleasant singing of birds, and his
heart expanded with joy. He was still among
the living?he had not accomplished his wicked
resolution; and, falling again upon his knees,
he thanked God for his mercy. Notwithstand!
ing his bodily weakness, he felt refreshed, and
l sat down for a few moments on the grass, to
I collect his thoughts, ere he set out on his return
to the city.
While thus resting, his eyes fell on a smooth
white chalkstone, on which was traced the delicate
semblance of a sprig of moss, with all its
minute flowers and tender fibres. He remembered
that the evening before, his tears had fall1
en on the stone, and moistened the sprig of
moss, which had probably fallen on it from the
beak of some wandering bird. Now, the moss
was no longer there, the wind having borne it
u..? : : 1
away, uut iu) impirss remaiueu ?u rxtjui&iurij'
traced on the smooth white surface of the stone,
that the young German could not help being
struck with the phenomenon.
" This means something," thought he. " I
may have been led in mercy to this spot. I am
a bad actor, a bad singer, but who knows? I
may be reserved for something better."
Taking the stone in his hand, Aloise rose up
and turned his steps homeward.
At the gate of the city, he met his little brother,
whom his mother had sent to seek him.?
The child told him that an uncle of their mother
had come to see her the morning of the burial,
and had given her a sum of money to relieve her
wantj.
' My God, I thank thee," said young Sene
folder, mentally. He did not then know that
the stone, which he held in his hand, would .
t r i .mi .? t i
cause mm in a rew days still greater emotions 01 I
thankfulness. At first he employed his discov- !
ery in ornamenting the covers of caskets, snuffboxes,
&c., but, one day it occurred to him to
take off, on wet paper, the picture drawn on
the stone. The experiment succeeded and lithography
was discovered.
In time, Aloise brought the art to perfection.
He studied chemistry for the purpose ; and rich
and happy were his prosperous family around
him. lie felt that he could never be sufficiently
thankful for having outlived his design of

" Why should we ever despair ?" ho would
say. " Cod can turn our pain into pleasure,
and our bitterness into joy."

Messrs. Editors:?An effort will be made at
the approaching Convention of Teachers, to
form an Association of the Teachers of the
State. Its meetings should be periodical. Its
object will be the advancement of Education,
and the ininrovement and elevation of the nro
g _ - I
fession. A press connected with it, and edited
by Teachers of experience, being devoted principally
to the cause of Education, would assist
the Society much.
To demonstrate the utility of such an Association,
would be deemed a work of supererrogation.
Its advantages will be seen at a
glance. But if 1 were disposed to sum them
up, they are so numerous that they would take
up more space in your valuable paper, than you
would be willing to grant them, and more time
from me in collecting them, than I can now devote
to the subject. It is to be hoped that every
Teacher will come to the Convention, having
thoroughly revolved this matter with himself.
and nrenarod to offer somcthiiifr useful in
, I - g ? ? - ? o
the organization of this Society.
In calling this Convention, we must believe,
that the Governor has acted wisely. Heretofore
the matter has been referred to Committees
of the Legislature, composed of fanners, lawyers,
&c. who knew as much about school
teaching, or the application of the free school
funds, as farmers do of medicines, or as lawyers
of mechanics.
Our Governor has seen the folly of consulting
persons on subjects foreign to their pursuits,
and has most properly inquired of the teachers
themselves for suggestions on this subject. And
can mere dp a teacher in the Mate, who has
any patriotism, or pride of profession, that will
not readily and freely give his opinion on those
subjects upon which he is consulted,and use every
exertion for the foundation of the society
above spoken of? We cannot believe it. If
there is, he is deserving of the obscurity and
neglect that has hitherto been the reward of the
modest schoolmaster. We want no representation
here, as has been hinlod In other quarters.
Let every one, from the seaboard to the mountains,
meet in Convention, and resolve to mane
one grand effort for elevating the profession to
its true and proper level, *1 his cannot he done
more effectually than by offering something
nruoticable ami useful on the subjects contained
in the proclamation, and by forming the society
here proposed. A Tkachbh.
Dkmvery op Fucjitivks.?Mr. Webster in
his Newburyport letter, quotes the following
clause of the Constitution, to wit:
"No person held to sendee or labor in one
State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another,
shall, in consequence of any law or regulation
therein, bo discharged from such service
or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of
lio nuntu i rx urliAii^ oitnll anrriPO Hf I'ilinr IllflV
vv n tiviu oucu ovi v fifvv j
be due."
Mr. Webster then proceeds to 9ay that
" The clause quoted above, may be worth
while to remark, was borrowed, in substance,
from the celebrated ordinance of 1787, which
was drawn up by that great man of your own
country, and a contemporary of your fathers,
Nathan Dane.
" Mr. Dane had very venerable New England
authority for the insertion of this provision, in
the ordinance which he prepared,
" In the year 1043, there was formed a confederation
between the four New England Colonies
j Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, Connecticut
aod New Haven; and in the 8th article
of that confederation it is stipulated as follows,
viz:
" 'It is also agreed that, if any servant run
away from his master into any other of these
confederated jurisdictions, that in such cases:,
upon the certificate of one magistrate in the
jurisdiction out of which the said servant fled,
or upon other due proof, the said servant shall
be delivered either to his master or to any other
that pursues and brings such certificate or
proof. And in the 'Articles of Agreement,' entered
into in 1650 between the New England
colonies and ' the delegates of Peter 8tuyvesant,
Governor of the New Netherlands,' it
was stipulated that the same way and course'
concerning fugitives, should be observed between
the English Colonies and New Netherlands,
as had been established in the 'Articles
ot uonteaeration Detween tne umgiisn colonies
themselves."

LATER FROM HAVANA.
The United States Mail steamer Isabel,Capt.
Rollins, arrived from Havana yesterday morning,
with her accustomed punctuality. She
left Havana at 5 p. ra. on the 8th ; Key West,
at 4 a. m. on the 9th, and reached her wharf at
8 o'clock a. m. yesterday, making 68 hours from
port to port, including the stoppages at Key
West and Savannah. She brings 141 passengers.
By the Isabel we have our files of papers and
correspondence to the 8th inst., extracts from
which will be found annexed.
The papers are mainly occupied with details
connected with the late invasion of the Island.
A large number of crosses and other honorary
distinctions have been conferred on those who
were prominent in repelling the invaders at Cardenas,
while liberal contributions have been
made for the support of the families of the killed
and wounded 011 that occasion.
Much excitement still prevails throughout the
Island, and the feelings of the old Spaniards
and the Government Officials run strong against
Americans and the American Government.
The officers, crews, and passengers of Jho
American vessels still remain in close confinement.
Efforts have been made by torture to
extort confessions from the captainsofthe Geor
giana and Susan Loud, but in vain. They declared
repeatedly that they regularly cleared
from iSew Orleans for Chagres, as was confirmed
by their papers, that they had 110 knowledge
of the character or objects of their passengers
until the steamer Creole came alongside, when
a number of them went on board of that vessel,
and that they were proceeding on their course
to Chagres when they were captured by the
Spanish steamer.
The Captains were then suspended in the air
by cords attached to their thumbs, but, despite
fltn fr?rfnrn tlioi' nonofoH in fliot't* afufoirtotitQ

Among the prisoners was n young lawyer
from one of the Western States, whose symptoms
of trepidation gave expectation that by
working on his fears, confessions might be obtained
that would tend to criminate his companions.
A halter was accordingly placed round
his neck, and cannon balls attached to his feet,
and with the threat of immediate death hanging
over him, under promise of pardon for himself
and for some of his companions whom he
named, he made certain disclosures upon which
the authorities based their further proceedings.
The American Consul was peremptorily refused
all access to or communication with the
prisoners. To give a color, however, to the
proceedings of the Court, the presence of the
I O ' a
Hritish Consul was invited. A strong disposition
was manifested to dispose of the two American
captains by a summary execution; but
against this course the ilritish Consul warmly
remonstrated, and warned them that such a step
would inevitably involve them in serious difficulties
with the American Government. In
consequence of these remonstrances the decision
of the Court upon their case was postponed.
The chief Engineer of the Matanzas and Savanilla
Railroad died suddenly at Havana, and
it was supposed by poison, butthere is no doubt
that his death was occasioned by over excite
muiit and perplexity consequent upon the invasion
at Cardenas.
We have been informed by highly intelligent
gentlemen that the excitement and terror at Matanzas,
Havana, and throughout the island, upon
the spread of the Intelligence of the landing
at Cardenas, was extreme, and in many instances
the authorities seemed perfectly paralysed.
It is their opinion that if a thousand brave men,
well appointed, and well officered, had pushed

Annexed is our Havana and Key West correspondence
:
Havana, June6, 1850.?Gentlemen: A fewdays
since, 1 begged admission to your columns,
and would now again trespass upon you. The
precarious condition of our situation here, impels
me to it. One hundred of our fellow-citi
zens manacled and in prison, awaiting trial foi
their lives, without advocate, without defence,
and subject t) tho tender mercies of n horde of
irritated and vain-glorious officials. Two American
ships captured on the high seas?our flag
trampled upon; our nationality insulted and
outraged; our ships of war sent hero to maintain
the permanency of Spanish power, and then,
finding that free from menace, abandoning our
port, and even when bearing despatches to tin
Government, lasiirinir on their wav. lincrerinjr at
Key West, giving and receiving balls. Americans
openly insulted and menaced in tho streets.
cafes, and places of public resort. The Consul
denied access to bis imprisoned follow citizens,
and his communications to the authorities sent
back unopened, with the insulting message that
hollas no diplomatic authority?and the press
of the United States, instead of maintaining tho
immunity of our flag upon the seas, defending
the sacred character of our soil, and advocating
the rights of our unfortunate citizens, oppressed
in the very teeth of treaty stipulation, bounded
on by defeat, are running and barking like a
pack of cowardlyfdogs at the heels of a few flying
marauders.
The steamer Saranac, Commander Tatnall,
left here on the 80th ult with despatches for
the Government at Washington, informing it of
the state of affairs, and forsooth we hear of him
at Key West on the 3d inst. giving a ball, and
reciprocating the attentiona^of the sitizens tbera
Meanwhile ins countrymen, immured in a Spanish
prison, denied all communication with'their
friends, shut out from the light of Heaven, may

with our fellow beings, are coolly
comforted by Judges Marvin and Douglas, of
the aforesaid Key West, with the assurance that
the Spanish Government has not only perfect
right to confiscate our property captured on the
great highway of nations, but that it*can, at its
sovereign pleasure, capture, imprison, try, condemn,
and execute, American citizens who never
thought of, or intended, coming to the Island
of Cuba; and even that it would have been per- '
fectly justified in landing an armed force on ^,
American soil, and capturing and executing on ^ .'
the spot the pirates of the Creole. Not I alone,
but every one of my fellow-countrymen here,,
has, with bursting heart, exclaimed: " Would
to God, I were an Englishman!"
While I am writing these lines the prize bark
Georgiana and brig Susan Loud are boldly runnnig
into port, showing no colors, even whileunder
the guns of the sloops of war Albany and
Germantown, whieh have this morning re-appeared
oft* our harbor. How their doughty
commanders could brook this breach of Naval
etiquette, I cannot conceive. The steamer S:iranac
has also come in, and takes no notice
whatever of the prizes. It is to be hoped the
Government at Washington will take other
views of these captures than those held by the
Key West Cabinet Respectfully, vours,

June 8,1850.?It may be interesting to your
readers to learu that we are daily looking for
anotherinvasion. Yesterday the Schooner Fairy
arrived here from New Orleans, and brings
a report that the steamer Fanny was to leave
that citv on the first, instant with 700 men for
Cuba. The Government are on the qui vice,
and troops are hold in readiness to move at a
moment's warning. Last night the steamer Pi.
